Wizard amps

[panhead]

For that kind of money dont ya think Rick would put a nice leather handle on his amps, I mean come on dude. just bored this afternoon but I have thought that when I owned one so discuss or cuss or whatever.

People never take their wizards out of the bed room, a handle just gets in the way of putting another amp on top of it, just make sure you put foam cubes between so it dosent make an imprint, that will hurt resale value

If You earned enough money to buy a Wizard you are probably too old to lift it with one hand

Funny. Mine has seen hundreds of gigs…just an amp like any other one.

Nothing like playing in a stone parking lot….drummer set up on a door. Just shook my head on that one.

You know the Alessandro’s and Purpleface have no handles either and the Uber Rev 1 has a lowly plastic handle. I guess that means they just belong in the trash. Who cares how they actually sound right

All I know is Rick and Hermansson are going to be the guys taking all my money lol .

I'll never own a wizard but that said I do like their headshells not having a handle. I wanted one made for one of my Marshall's....carry on.

I dig the lil side handle scoops on the Wiz headshells

I think any truly boutique amp should have both a luxurious leather handle and the side scoops and at least 1 cup holder. While we’re at it it should also have a comfortable neck and great fit and finish. Otherwise it’s worth less than $2k in my book. How it sounds is irrelevant as long as the internal guts look super clean and tidy

Didnt a Dimebag Randall have side handles like that?

My ‘86 RG100ES did and they were great. Much better actually than the Wizard’s side handles because they were much easier to grab. Had a lot of good things going for it at $400

Actually I bought one for $800 when I was younger.

Dudes are rocking!!

Side handles work great; esp when you have 5 inches of plate Transformers that make the amp weigh in at 60lbs

Side handles are better. Lift with the knees using two hands at either side to balance the weight. Your back will thank you later in life.

Besides, top handles get in the way of resting more beer cans on the amp.

I missed out on those days. Never heard of them till 96 at MI. No money even back then for a new one. Never saw a used one anywhere till much later. Bought an early Metal 100. Can’t even remember what I paid for it or if it was ebay or HC.

Ummmm excuse me sir, don't misgender their name, they are Tone Holes

Tone Hole sounds derogatory and therefore is deemed offensive. I believe the proper nomenclature is Timbre Cavity

I like how smooth the top is, but that was my complaint was that it now is a bitch to carry one handed without swinging the fucking thing (holding by one of the side inserts). I always forget though, cuz I am a bedroom guitarist, and the headshell is in the corner so that it can have tubes rolled at a moment's notice
